This tower was located in the "Ejido la Estrella" where the eddy covariance tower is located 7.5 km east of the town Rosario de Tesopaco, in southeastern Sonora, Mexico. The tower was positioned in the center of a homogeneous flat terrain at the foothills of the Madre Occidental. This ecosystem lies in a highly seasonal region under the influence of the North American Monsoon that brings about 70% of the rains from July to September. The site is dominated by leguminous trees. Some of the dominant species are Lysiloma divaricatum, Ipomoea arborescens, Acacia cochliacantha, Haematoxylum brasiletto, and Celtis reticulata. The mean basal area at the study site is 14.83 ± 3.3m2 ha-1, and the aboveground biomass is estimated to be 43.20±9.5Mgha-1. These values and the high counts of Acacia cochliacantha indicate that the area is a secondary forest with significant management activities in the past. See MoreShow Less |

PhenoCam Images and Derived Time Series Data
PhenoCams are high-resolution digital cameras that take repeated images of studied ecosystems and provide quantitative information about the canopy phenology. The PhenoCam Network coordinates the camera installation and data reporting/analyses across sites in the Americas, providing automated, near-surface remote sensing of canopy phenology across a range of ecosystems and climate zones. Use of PhenoCam images / data should follow the PhenoCam Data Use Policy .
No PhenoCam data for this siteGeoNEX Data Products
GeoNEX led by NASA Earth eXchange (NEX) is a collaborative effort for generating Earth monitoring products from the new generation of geostationary satellite sensors. GeoNEX has produced a suite of geostationary data products including surface reflectance, land surface temperature, surface solar radiation, and many others.
The GeoNEX Common Grid locates GeoNEX data in the geographic (latitude/longitude) projection. Pixels (grid cells) are created at regular 0.005°, 0.01°, and 0.02° resolutions.
GeoNEX pixels below cover the area 0.06° x 0.06° around and including site MX-Tes, 27.8446, -109.2977.
